Wrong, wrong, wrong. The team MUST give it a huge go to close this one out next game. When an opponent is on their knees you don't allow them any mercy. Drop the next and Magic have one of those mad 3 pt shooting nights they are capable of in g6, then we are down to a toss of the coin g7.
Time to focus and close this out in 5.
Spot on mate. A Staples Finals victory would be awesome, but I'd be wanting this finished tonight no matter where it was.
Milwaukee, Oklahoma... Who cares?
Win it Tonight!
Broadmeadows? Springvale?
Broadmeadows would be ideal, I'm like 5 minutes away!
A few Laker games would get me down that way a little more often.
But that said, it's much better than it was when I was a kid.
NBA champioship game in Broady... That's interesting lol Hope your boys can pull it out in 5!
Word is that Broady have already begun the traditional car burning and looting celebrations...
And that's just the Celtics supporters out there!!!
Got caught up with work and missed tracking the game on the 'net...but THAT should silence the Laker Haters out there!! Can't wait to see the replay on One.
Destiny fulfilled!!
Kobe was...well...Kobe in this series. A W meant the world to him as you can now remove the *can't win without Shaq from his titles.
Odom came to play this series and played a great supporting role.
Fish had an interesting series. Take out two 3 pt shots and he had a shocker. Include those shots and he was pivotal to the series win...basketball is a funny game at times.
Ariza showed enough x-factor to be rewarded with a solid contract for the next few years. His ability to create steals at crucial moments was inspirational. His second half in g4 helped turn the series to LA's favour.
The Machine went missing and needs to reflect over summer
Walton did OK with limited opportunities.
Farmar couldn't take the next big step on the big stage.
Bynum just couldn't stop fouling and had 0 impact.
But for me, the player of the finals was Pau Gasol. He hasn't quite dispelled the soft tag and did go missing with Odom in the one L, but his D on Howard with the 3/4 fronting was exceptional. Then when Bynum was on the floor he managed to totally shut down Lewis...such a versatile big man. Another solid line today...he is the help Bryant has needed since Shaq left town.
15th title win.
10 rings for Jackson
Lakers back to where they belong - the undisputed world champions.
So very, very, very happy...GO LAKERS!!!!
